fireworks!

This is the last of the 4th of July posts I promise! We just packed so much in that I decided to do multiple posts because I have so many pics.

But in my mind, the 4th of July ain't over til something explodes.

Sidenote:when B and I were dating I told him that the 4th of July and Christmas were equally my favorite holiday. I don't have to explain why I love Christmas because who doesn't? But I think I love the 4th so much because I have such fond memories of going to my grandparents house, being with family, feeling so blessed to be an American, hearing stories about my dad and his brothers, eating good food, and watching my own brothers light fireworks. Watching fireworks makes me happy.

These don't need much of an explanation, but look at that sunset! I have to say it was more beautiful in person.

Eric found a fabulous spot for us to do fireworks. It seemed everyone in the entire community was out. Everywhere we turned there were BIG fireworks going off.

i really love fourth of july, too. i was saying the same thing to sarah the other day. i just have the best memories of going to g'ma and g'pas house, shucking corn, playing in the basement, doing sparklers, and watching fireworks in the driveway.
